The cyclone hit the families of Sunrise Lane on 15 June. My home was one of 69 damaged, and 11 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming.
Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before.
We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $9,000 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,200
• Clean water and purification supplies: $780
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,000
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,950
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,070
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending strength, Victoria. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up.
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Aberdeen this morning. God bless.
good luck, Victoria. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 18 people at work.
thinking of you and your family, Victoria. Great idea, hope you get there. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Curitiba but we're thinking of you. All the best.
